Tadej Pogacar won his fifth Tour de France on July 27, 2026, crossing the finish line in Paris to equal the record for most overall victories. The 27-year-old Slovenian rider matched the feat of Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain, who each won the race five times.
Pogacar's victory was built on dominant performances in the mountain stages and time trials. He secured the yellow jersey early in the race and defended it through the final stage on the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es.
This marks Pogacar's fifth win in six editions, having first won in 2020 and then consecutively from 2021 to 2024, before reclaiming the title in 2026 after finishing second in 2025.
